Description
Specifically:
- Only Blogger Accounts hosted directly on Blogspot can be imported. To import a Blogger blog on a self-hosted domain, Change your publishing Settings to use Blogspot instead (self hosted blog content will not be lost during the import and Settings can be redirected after import completes)
- User accounts should already be created in WordPress to properly map multiple authors

There's three modes. Blogger-hosted, FTP or SFTP. The importer won't import FTP or SFTP (verified).

Yes, I was just distinguishing between the *.blogspot.com address and the "Publish on a custom domain" option. Both of those work fine with the importer, it's the FTP modes that don't work.

Feedback:
Blogger blog service via FTP or SFTP ended May 1, 2010. Only blogger-hosted accounts are available now. Ref. See http://blogger-ftp.blogspot.com/2010/01/deprecating-ftp.html

- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
FTP sites no longer exist on blogger, and this is getting a refactoring anyway. Closing as invalid.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Actually, I think you can import any blogger account *except* those that are set to publish via FTP. If you're using the other method of using your own domain name, then that will import fine.
